‘Mere taash ke tirpanve patte’ and other nicknames by Shatrughan Sinha in Kaala Patthar

Of the many things Yash Chopra’s Kaala Patthar (1979) is remembered for, Shatrughan Sinha’s fiery dialogues in the film remain its top highlight. The actor plays Mangal Singh, an escaped convict masquerading as a coal miner, whose cockiness and bravado is matched by his ability to banter. What’s noteworthy is every time Mangal has a conversation with someone, it isn’t without him granting endearing nicknames or hurling stinging insults — at times, both — to the other party.

Here’s a compilation of everything Mangal Singh has called anyone and everyone in Kaala Patthar.

To his prison mate:

* Abbey o ullu ki duum, ab hum pe yeh waqt aa gaya ki kahin se nikalne ke liye ddosron ka sahara lena padega?

* Raja Babu Pehelwaan, tum abhi humein jaante nahin ho… jaan jaaoge.

Additionally he calls him: Arrey munna and Arrey mere laal.

To fellow coal minor (Harish Magon):

Arrey mere Badayun ke lalla, abhi tak duniya mein aisi koi jagah hi nahin bani jahaan se mangal na nikal sake.

To Rana (Mac Mohan) during the game of cards:

* Kyon Raja Nal, humse bhi ek haath kheloge?

* Dekho Raja Banaras, yeh teri meri mein bohot time lag jaayega.

*Drum roll*

Mere taash ke tirpanve patte, teesre baadshah hum hain!

To Chhanno (Neetu Singh):

* Arrey meri bholi banjaran, tum abhi humko jaanti nahin.

* Arrey meri gulshan ki bulbul, Mangal ka khoon koi lemon soda nahin jisse Vijay jaisey aunge paunge apni pyaas bujhaate phirein.

To the truck driver he rides with:

* Abbey oye ankh ke andhe lallu panju dekh nahin raha chaabi nikaal raha hoon?

* Girdhari Lal, tum yahin baithe raho.

* Abbey o ullu ke patthe, teri duty meri bhookh se badh ke hai kya?

To the clinic compounder (HL Pardesi):

Abbey o arthee ke phool, hum apni line khud banaate hain, samjhaa?

To Dhanna (Sharat Saxena) and other goons during the forest fight scene:

Abbey gatarpanju, bol toh gaya lekin beta bohot bhaari padega.
